Hanging birds 1865 by Magnus von Wright

Left: Hanging birds by Magnus von Wright
Description: painting showing a group of dead birds hanging upside down, the birds are: a male bullfinch, a jay, a yellowhammer and a waxwing
Propaganda: I love the colors and how they play along eachother but most of all I love the textures.
Propaganda 2: What I love most about this art is the size differences. Like I never really through of the jay as a large bird, because compared to a human it is not, but now I see it surrounded by this other birds and it looks huge, nice change of perspective for me.

Right: Black woodpecker 1850-1869 by Severin Falkman
Description: painting of a dead black woodpecker hanging upside down from a thin line
Propaganda: The spare background is for me an important part of the image and its effect for me, it and the way the bird hangs on a too long string, that makes it head bend on the ground makes me feel for a lack of being able to think of a better word, a bit sad, I kind of want to reach out and hang it so it does not bump its head anymore, the illusion of dignity I guess.
